In an earlier study, we observed only a weak association between plasma insulin (nonspecific assay) and leptin in South Asian Indians. This was in contrast to the observations in many other ethnic groups. With the availability of measurements of specific insulin (SI) and proinsulin (PI) in the same
Recently, the presence of small dense low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been postulated to be a stronger risk factor for coronary heart disease than large LDL. While small dense LDL has been associated with individual components of the insulin resistance syndrome such as hypertension, high triglycer
Elevated concentrations of proinsulin-like molecules, other than insulin, may be associated with abnormalities of cardiovascular risk factors, promoting atherogenesis and thrombosis. Using specific assays we examined the relationship of levels of insulin, intact proinsulin and des-31,32 proinsulin t
